Clayton is 62
April 21, 2007
Today Clayton says that he now has joined the “old men’s club” whatever that means. It hardly seems possible that he has reached this age because that means that I have only four months until I reach the magic age!
We started the day by getting up early since Laura had a 7:30 student who comes on Saturday morning. We drank coffee and read the newspaper while Laura worked with her student in the living room. It was one of those rare mornings that Mark Xavier slept late. We chatted with Javier quietly so as not to disturb any of the learning that was taking place in the next room.
Clayton and Javier took care of MX while Laura and I went to the 17 blocks by bus to reach the center of Ramos Mejía for shopping, coffee and a manicure. It always takes longer to find things on the list that planned. It began to mist rain before we got home. That seems to be the weather for now. We enjoyed a nice lunch together.
It began to rain heavily around three so we just chatted in the house. Laura and Javier had some chores to do so Clayton and I stayed here while MX slept. It was still raining when they got home and we planned to leave to take the bus to Haedo where we last lived so we could visit with our former neighbors and see some of the people in the shops we frequented.
That was a nice walk in the rain on the sidewalks of Haedo (just two miles from Ramos Mejía) as we stopped in the Laundromat and other places to talk to people we knew. We had a great visit with some of our former neighbors and then visited the missionaries who live in the apartment where we last lived.
We got back to RM in time to meet Laura, Javier and MX at the “Fogon de RM” to eat supper to celebrate Clayton’s birthday today and an early celebration of Javier’s birthday on the 27th.
